Alicia Keys Performs ‘Tears Always Win’ On American Idol

This love groove is the follow up to her Maxwell-assisted track, “The Fire We Make” and has Alicia back at home (behind the piano) again. It’s a very sweet record about missing that special someone you love, and no matter how hard you try to act as though you’ve moved on, those pesky tears always seem to win.

These lips are missing you Cause these lips ain’t kissing you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win These arms are wanting you Cause these arms ain’t holding you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win

I LOVE Alicia’s music, but not her live performances. It’s a shame when people are so used to your voice cracking, with notes falling short that when you actually do well, it’s surprising. LoL.

I used to love me some Alicia Keys when she first came out, but I just can’t with her anymore. It seems as her songs are drab but I do like her song with Maxwell and the new upbeat one (forgot the name). But as a performer w/o that piano, IMO she is just too stiff and robotic to see in concert and her voice isn’t all that great as before. I don’t know what it is, I just don’t feel her like that anymore. But one thing is that you cannot take her beauty away, she is a beautiful lady

One of my fave songs of that album. Sounds like she is taking voice lessons to get her voice back, AK is a fave of mine but when she had that baby she lost her voice to how it used to be. She looked beautiful WOW love is something else. Love You Alicia.

I’m still tryna figure out how she went from beautiful songs like: you dont know my name, diary, no one, like you’ll never see me again, unthinkable, etc. to girl on fire?!?! Where did she go wrong? #unsolvedmysteries

Oh gosh. This song has Bruno Mars written all over it. I love him, so that isn’t a bad thing. Dude is a great writer, and I appreciate the fact that he values the simple things in music.

I haven’t been a fan of Alicia in a while, but when she came out with the song with Maxwell (Fire We Make) I got my life! YASS Alicia. I even like this song, had it been sung by Bruno himself or maybe even if I gave it a listen on her album I would love it. But her live performaces just aren’t enticing at all.
